Miss Monochrome
I was just having a dream.
We'll meet again, I know it.
Beneath the waterfall...
Ru-chan, I had that same dream again.
Who in the world is she?
For who knows how long and for what reason,
I've Begun Life as an Idol
the idol Miss Monochrome has lived in this castle.
Monochrome-sama, I replaced the old AA battery with a new one.
Thank you, Mana-chan.
I don't deserve your gratitude!
You took me in after I was abandoned under a bridge.
So I am truly grateful!
Please don't hesitate to ask anything of me!
Kikuko is very popular, isn't she?
I'm an idol, too, and yet...
I want to be eye-catching like Kikuko.
I want to be a popular idol,
and stand out more.
If I do that, she'll find me, and we'll meet...
Appointment Calendar
Mana-chan, how does one go about getting work as an idol?
Let me see... I think that an idol needs a manager!
A manager who will get you work!
A manager...
I'll be your manager!
I'll work my hardest for you!
That makes me happy. Thank you.
There's no need to thank me.
In that case, Manager Mana-chan, get me work.
Yes! First...
Please give me 19.3 billion yen!
Understood.
Foreclosure
Mana-chan took the 19.3 billion yen and disappeared.
As that was nearly all of Monochrome's fortune,
her castle was foreclosed and she was evicted.
No Tresspassing
Backstreet Tavern
I'm worried, Ru-chan.
How am I going to be an idol now?
Sorry! Are you hurt?
I'm okay...
Manager Maneo
Manager...
I think that an idol needs a manager!
You... Be my manager.
Uh, sure...
Very well, Manager, get me work.
Manager Maneo, you've got a call from the head office.
Coming.
And this is how Monochrome began working at a convenience store.
Welcome.
